Dr. Courtney Blackmon

Dr. Courtney Blackmon is a dedicated veterinarian with a diverse background in animal care, spanning small animals, wildlife, and equine medicine. Raised in the Midwest, she began her journey into veterinary medicine in Austin, Texas, where she worked at a small animal veterinary clinic, apprenticed as a horse trainer, and honed her skills in starting horses. Her passion for animal welfare grew as she volunteered at a wildlife rehabilitation center and fostered dogs and cats in need. Dr. Blackmon pursued her veterinary education at Colorado State University, located in the scenic Front Range, where she developed a deep interest in preventative care, animal behavior, and nutrition. Her time at CSU also sparked her passion for emergency medicine and surgery, which she further cultivated while working in a small animal ER and the university’s surgery department. She also developed strong interests in managing complex medicine cases, dentistry, and soft tissue surgery, all of which complement her comprehensive approach to animal care. In search of sunshine and warmer weather, Dr. Blackmon moved to Arizona, where she currently resides with her menagerie of animals that include dogs, cats, horses, and 2 pot-bellied pigs. Outside of her professional life, she enjoys hiking, horseback riding, and exploring the natural beauty of Arizona. With a well-rounded and compassionate approach to veterinary care, Dr. Blackmon is committed to providing the best possible treatment and advocating for the health and well-being of all animals in her care.
